David Johnson, AIA, LEED, AP BD+C – Principal

The economic viability of research programs increasingly depends on space governance processes linked to enterprise profitability. The session provides a methodology for factoring economic productivity into space planning and space allocation for research facilities and provides a method to determine a threshold for research enterprise sustainability. David Johnson and Steve Hackman illustrate the combination of economic and spatial data to model a prototypical researcher with financial productivity goals and assigned space. They outline a methodology for master plan analysis of a campus or research enterprise.
